If Neymar is entitled for loyalty bonus as per contract then they would be fools to turn it down.
 
After Mourinho's comments on how he wants to build the squad this season and beyond, I'm glad he is not going for Neymar. Watch this, especially from 4 mins 55 secs

 
Jeez, he saw the opening for a joke, albeit insensitive and inappropriate. He even admits to it, now stop derailing the thread.
You're struggling to grasp the concept of a conversation. I just said it was a new low. If the guy quotes me here and asks a question, I'm going to give him the respect of a reply.
 

Oh my!! This is just superb.. Now I don't hate Barca or anything, but after seeing the Spanish clubs turn every player head they want,this is just too sweet..:lol: Papa Neymar :drool:

I would love to have Neymar at Utd but I don't think he would last here that long.. So might as well be PSG rather than city..
 
In Spain. L'Equipe reports that France would tax it

I read the article and they are wrong because they basically considered that Neymar was a french resident, which he isn't and which means that he and the PSG will have a lot of exoneration(probably closer to 15m-20m tops). In fact, I'm almost sure that they are ways to not even pay those taxes, the kicker in France is that his wage will cost a lot more than people imagine, basically 64% of Neymar's gross wage will have to be paid to the fiscus.

The "régime des impatriés" allows to pay only half of the theoretical income tax and would compensate the high charges employers have to pay in France.

That's what I had in mind, I used the 64% to highlight the initial/theoritical cost, there are lots of ways to avoid paying that much particularly when we are talking about someone that isn't a french resident. And Lequipe's article is wrong from the start because they don't really take into account Neymar's status.
 
Do I need to do that? I said I believe some probably think that based on the comments I've read on the issue, not that some have actually said that black on white. No need for people to be offended if they think I'm talking nonsense.

You can't throw ridiculous accusations around based on your feelings and not expect to be demanded proof of it.

Well, you can, but you'd look ridiculous doing it.

I don't believe any United fans would say that because we'd almost be calling City and Chelsea bigger clubs by that reasoning.

I gave examples of posts saying Neymar was the main difference between Barca and PSG last season. And posts saying PSG are now favorites to win the CL. Which are both not true. Too often people think a team will do this or that based only on transfers.

A team is different to a club. Milan is a far bigger club than PSG but PSG have a far better team than Milan.

Won't comment on those two points because they're footballing opinions but a better current football team is hardly the indication of a bigger club.

I didn't say bigger club or team. I said only bigger. Was referring to the team, obviously.

Fair enough.

Although I don't find the suggestion of PSG being better than Barcelona so controversial that it can't even be discussed.

Then again, this isn't a Barcelona forum so we are not all bowing down to the greatness of the Barca team.
 
It will maybe be debatable in the future. Now it's not really debatable.



Exactly, opinions. I just gave mine regarding the subject.

It is highly debatable, whether you like it or not. Games against Barcelona and PSG have mainly been close with both teams able to outplay each other for lengthy periods of time, the difference is that PSG did it without magical players like Neymar or Messi while Barcelona had them. Now if Neymar joins PSG, that's one less asset for Barcelona and one more for PSG.

Yeah, well, I like to see what happens on the pitch more, and less on the transfer market. Until PSG proves that they are better than Barca they need to prove they are better than Monaco.

Again making the assumption that PSG is maybe better than Barca because they signed one of Barca's best players. As if he already played for PSG and won them the Champions League. PSG is yet to prove they are better than Barca. Every time they faced each other in CL, they were knocked out by Barca. When Barca was on form (14-15), it wasn't even a contest.

They trounced Barcelona and Monaco last season, I understand that people are obsessed with the 6-1(which can happen) but PSG destroyed both Monaco and Barca during that same period of time.
 
This deal seems to be going on. It's by far the biggest surprise this market if it concludes like this.

For me its the deal of the century regarding the transfer fee going to be spent, but I don't know if it's really the best thing for Neymar football-wise. I don't get that much into him being the shadow of Messi. If he wants to leave Barca he should have moved to a strong league not the french league imo.

Regarding what's going on he's 100% going for the money. It's up to him anyway but it appears for me to be a wrong move in his career unless PSG turns into a CL contender finally with him in the squad. They have a very good squad and very good attacking players and always fails in true tests. If Neymar couldn't put them on a CL final with Di Maria, Cavani and Verrati with him they should be really ashamed of themselves.

Barca will take a massive hit without him as he's the younger one of the MSN and with Messi and Suarez are already at 30, if they couldn't succeed in replacing him and with their squad starting to get full of mediocre players in midfield their future doesn't look bright at all tbh. They should try to move foe Dembele from BVB rather than an impossible transfer as Coutinho.

The problem with this transfer for the market is what I said about Mbappe deal to Madrid, the bubble will finally burst. The market will enter a new world if 220m are spent for Neymar and any superstar will cost minimum 100m, with 50m becoming a very cheap price sooner rather than later. Clubs will need to either spend a lot or invest in young talents who will cost less.

The market is going to be even harder next years with this.

PSG lost the duel with Barca. They had the chance to eliminate Barca while they were having massive issues. They failed, and made a fool out of themselves. Later Juventus came and showed that the Barca team of last season was nothing special. PSG lost 6-1 to the worst version of Barca in the last 3 years. They have a lot to prove, and signing Neymar guarantees nothing until he proves on the field that he can lead PSG to great success. If he does that, sure, we can say PSG have a better team than Barca. Until then, Barca is the better team. The 4-0 would've been a statement... if only it wasn't followed by a 1-6.
 
Spanish clubs are going to take a long hard look at the size of the release clauses of their star players after this. No one is safe anymore

Madrid have untouchable release clauses. Barca will take notice after this for sure.
 
Somebody must have fecked up the transfer deadline. Surely that was suppsoed to be August 31st loyalty bonus. What clowns work at Barcelona. LOL.
 
@serghei 'jokingly' wishing death on Neymar for leaving Barca... Tsk tsk :lol:

I don't believe in the existence of a €25m loyalty bonus for staying until August. Why would there be such a huge bonus, and why after July 31st?

Yeah saw that a few days back. Great comments. I was happy to hear that too.

Because Neymar's dad is an unscrupulous money grabber who has been pimping his son around forever.
And Barsa have been terribly afraid of bogeyman Florentino Pérez snatching him away from them. Hence these silly loyalty clauses.

Is it his dad who gets the loyalty clause? :eek:
But 25m seems out of all proportion if Neymar makes 15m per year or whatever.
